Software or not software

I upgraded to a Lumia 10 days ago, I must say it's a beutifully designed phone and I do like most of it's features I did have more than the 4 quirks below but I have gotten used to most of them other than the 4 below, can anyone tell me if these are fixable via software updates and not something that needs hardware or even if it's something that nokia cares about anyway
1, only a small thing but being able to put my own sms tone on my phone, all of the pre installed ones are too low and i keep missing txts coz i cant hear it! (to anyone in the know.... what if i converted a tone to a particular file type, would it then show up as a notification tone and therefore be able to be set as such??)
2, A BATTERY LIFE! (which i'm hoping will be fixed by update on 5th dec??)
3, Bluetooth that actually works/connects to other phones that aren't windows phones.
4, I'd like to change my keyboard from the standard 'qwerty' layout to 'numeric keypad entry'
I did have other issues but i'm gradually getting used to it, however the 4 things missing which i've mentioned above would keep me happy to continue being a nokia 800 user!
Can anyone tell me if these things are possible to be changed via a software update situation or are they things that would need hardware changed and therefore not gonna happen???
Thanks, 
Luke

    but when install the last update MacBookProEFIUpdate2.9 i got error like this
    "This software is not supported on your system."
    please help me thanks

    OK, so the firmware is the same as mine, and yet Apple Support offered this EFI and SMC update packages, which should give a message that our computers are updated. 
      However, the update packages fail to run. 
      Did Apple neglect to give the correct update for the mid-2012 issue of MacBook Pro 13-inch?  I have the i7 Intel processor, instead of the i5, and I was sold this unit as having two processors, but the System info only lists a single processor. 
    Is one of the problems with Intel-based MacBook Pro units that the integration wasn't without bugs that cause processor hang when running the OS Lion, even with updates to 10.7.5?
      Shouldn't the EFI and SMC updaters run on these machines as stated in the Apple Support article? 
      What will Apple do for these customers?

  • HT1237 My MacBookPro9,2 gets error message: "This software is not supported on your system." Audio jack is ignored. What else can I do?

    MACBOOK Pro 13-inch Mid 2012
    2.9GHz Intel Core i7
    8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel HD Graphics 40000 512 MB
    Mac OS X Lion 10..5 (11G63)
    Model Identifier:                    MacBookPro9,2
    Boot ROM Version:          MBP91.00D3.B08
    SMC Version (system):          2.2f44
    Passed Last Power on Self-Test
    The MacBook EFI Updater File that I downloaded from the Apple website for Support:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
      --> shows my Model McBookPro 9,2 as needing
    EFI Boot ROM version MBP91.00D3.B08 (EFI 2.9) (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1593)
    SMC version 2.2f44 (SMC 1.8) (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1633)
    I downloaded and tried to run both the files
    MacBookProEFIUpdate2.9.dmg 9/19/12
    AND
    MacBookProSMCUpdate.pkg
    as offered on this matrix, which instructs:
    "This article lists firmware updates that were released for Intel-based Macs. They update the firmware that originally shipped from the factory. If your computer does not appear on this list, an update from the factory firmware is not necessary.
    If you are unsure whether your computer needs a particular update, simply download and open the update installer. The installer will alert you if the firmware update is already installed or not needed."
    and instead of a message telling me of the proper update
    "This software is not supported on your system."
    So, why would the manual updater not tell me I already have the proper SMC and EFI updates?
    What is the reason I get the message that the software I downloaded from Apple Support is not supported on my system?
    Is this indicative of a larger problem with my MACBOOK PRO? 

    [email protected],
    why were you trying to reïnstall the Boot ROM and SMC versions that were already installed on your MacBook Pro?
    I agree that  a “not supported” message is certainly less clear than an “already installed” message would have been.

  • Software does not find the Database server

    Hi all,
    We are going to move database from old server MSSQL 2005 Express to the MSSQL 2008 R2 STD. For test I backuped DB from old server then restored at the new one. For some reason the software does not find the new server.

  • I am trying to install windows on my mac via bootcamp, and it says I need to download Windows Support Software. I tried, but it says "Download can not continue. The Windows Support Software is not available.

    I am running OSX 10.6.8 Snow lepard I am trying to install windows on my intel imac 20in late 2006  via bootcamp, and it says I need to download Windows Support Software. I tried, but it says "Download can not continue. The Windows Support Software is not available. I bought the Imac secend hand and did not get the install dvd's with it What can I do?

    You don't need to download the Windows support software, because in Snow Leopard, they are only available as a download for the Late 2010 MacBook Air.
    Instead, you have to buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The Snow Leopard disc contains the Windows drivers for your Mac, so you have to install them after finishing the Windows installation

  • How can I restore my data from iCal? I didn't make any backup, but I use  time machine with an external HD. I deleted iCal when I deleted my gmail account. I have tried to restore, but I can only restore the iCal software and not the data.

    How can I restore my data from iCal? I didn't make any backup, but I use  time machine with an external HD. I deleted iCal when I deleted my gmail account. I have tried to restore, but I can only restore the iCal software and not the data.

    So what is your question?
    If you forgot your encryption password:
    Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

  • This ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the Itunes installer to remove Itunes, then install the 64-bit version of Itunes.

    I'm not sure if the error message is related but smart friend was using my computer started deleting Quicktime & Safari and told me that they shouldn't be on my computer as they are not windows product & I can't use them on my laptop. With trepidation but acknowledging I don't know any of the stuff they were talking about, I allowed them to raid my laptop thinking it could be for the best. Now I'm not sure if it is related or not but depsite me having the most recent Itunes updates on both my Ipod 4TH GT, I am getting the following message everytime I connect my Ipod to the computer...and the timing would be about right too:
    this ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the Itunes installer to remove Itunes, then install the 64-bit version of Itunes.
    If it helps I am running the 10.7.0.21 on the Sony Vaio & remember checking last week I do have the latest update on the Ipod but it is a different version from the Itunes on the laptop (which may be normal, I wouldn't know) but as I am away from home & Wifi I can't tell u the version on that though.
    My problem is I cannot find an apple installer on the laptop to uninstall & I have searched Apple & Google for help and have seen others posts with the same issue but alot of the answers unfortunately I can't follow. I would greatly appreciate it if you can you answer any of these questions for me?
    *Will add & remove totally uninstall Itunes so that I can reinstall?
    *Will I lose my apps, music & data?
    *If the apps, music & data is recoverable, how do I do that?
    Sadly I can't find the installer & would love to add my new Mumford & Sons cd to my Ipod collection but don't know how to fix this. I love my Ipod & google but I have spent hours tryign updates, downloads, searches & feedback to Apple. A few months ago I had an Itunes billing problem & there was a webpage where you could email an apple support worker & rhe replied to my credit card problem within a day or 2 but I can't find that help for this problem..I couldn't express my graditude enough if you could help me with this, but thank you.

  • This iphone can not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64bit version of itunes

    This iphone can not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64bit version of itunes
    I keep getting the above error everytime I plug in my iphone.
    I am not daft, I do have the 64bit version of iTunes installed already. When I installed itunes 10.5 and more recently 10.5.1 I got an error message that rolls back a section of the installation (The updater I think) before finishing off installing iTunes.
    After the installation iTunes will work normally apart from when I try to connect a device. At which point I get the title error message and I can not sync my phone.
    It's probably down to Itunes not installing properly however no matter what I try I can not sort the problem out. I've tried uninstalling all apple programmes followed by a registry clean, then reinstall. I've tried the same again but in a specific order. I've tried repairing iTunes, repairing the updater etc etc. Nothing seems to work. I'm out of ideas.
    Has anybody had this problem? Please can somebody tell me how to fix it!
    Getting an iPad this Christmas and if I can't sync that up to my PC I may just have to go over to ANDROID!!!

    Is there a way to install this on its own?
    Yeah, let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunes64Setup.exe installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunes64Setup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunes64Setup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunes64Setup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does an iTunes install go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do?

    The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do? When i go to the camera, it is stuck on a black screen. the only way to use my camera is through other camera apps, but if I try to switch it to the front camera, it freezes again.

    If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required.  You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

  • Mac Book Software Update not working, iTune will not update because of that, iPhone 4 won't connect to iTunes because iTunes is not updated. Mac v.10.5.8, iTunes v.10.5.2, iPhone4 iOS 6

    Mac Book Software Update not working (Software Update does not have any new software for your computer at this time), my current MacBook version is 10.5.8.
    As a result I can't update iTunes, version 10.5.2  (This software requiers Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later)
    Now when I connect my iPhone 4, version iOS 6 iTunes can't connect to iPhone (The iPhone "XXXXX's iPhone" cannot be used because it requiers iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.)
    so in a nutshell can't use iphone 4, because iTune is not updated and will not  update because Mac Book is not up to date and will not update either.
    Please help.
    Thank you

  • I plug in my iPhone and this message showed. "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes." I did this but still not working. Please advise

    I have a problem with connecting my iPhone to iTunes. I uninstalled one of the computer program and restart my laptop. After restart my laptop and a message said that iTunes might not working because one of the component is missing and request to reinstall the iTunes. Hence I remove iTunes from my laptop and I reinstall iTunes to my laptop but still not working.
    Before this the iTunes will automatically launch when I plug in my iPhone. But after I reinstall iTunes, it's not working. When I try to plug in my iPhone after iTunes launched and message "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes." popped out. I did this twice but it's not working as well.
    Please advise what should I do to fix this.

    First make sue you are installing the 64 bit version of iTunes.
    Second make sure it is iTunes 10.7 or later.
    I would download a fresh copy of the 64 bit version of iTunes 11. After installation reboot your computer.
    Before connecting your phone reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed.."

    Ok so I have a LONG list of problems with my ipod touch and Vista, I have Vista Home Premium and iTunes wouldnt even install because it gave me a "Vista" error "microsoft.vc80.CRT,public Key Token="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0 .50727.762"processorArchitecture="x86" Please refer to help and support for more information." I found out this was a vista related error but managed to get iTunes 7.5 to work even though this error showed up during installation yet when it rolled back the install and then reinstalled itself, it installed successfully. (I have tried the same with version 8 of iTunes and above but instead of the successful iTunes install like 7.5 and stuff do, it says the install was interrupted and couldnt install)
    Ok so now when I plug in my (fw 2.2.1) ipod touch it says "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes. Then reinstall." But I have 7.5 so iPod Touches should work! My computer recognizes it as a camera but that is as far as I get.
    1 more thing. I have the usbaapl.sys in the system32/drivers folder that iTunes installed, so I dont get why it cant read my ipod...
    PLEASE, if you can help in any way please help!
    THANKS!

    does this have anything to do with anything?
    Yes. The iPod touch will not be recognized by iTunes if the Apple Mobile Device service is not running.
    What security software is running on the PC? Try to reconfigure, temporarily disable, or uninstall the security software. Then reinstall iTunes or repair the Apple Mobile Device installation from Control Panel.
